https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_tuple_normal_form is cool!

Since I had bad memory, I asked the ai to make me a mnemonic:

* Every

* Table

* Needs

* Full-keys (in its joins)

I have so many questions about that. Should that normal form basically replace 5NF for the purposes of teaching?

Why do they hate us and do not provide any illustrative real-life example without using algebraic notation? Is it even possible?

I just want to see a CREATE TABLE statement, and some illustrative SELECT statements. The standard examples always give just the dataset, but dataset examples are often ambiguous.

> (in its joins)

Do you understand what are "its" joins? What is even "it" here.

I'm super frustrated. This paper is 14 years old.

Chris Date has a course on this using his parts and supplies example. Don't have time to find it but maybe ai can find it.
